All systems are a go for a fifth season of Archer. The animated FX spy comedy was renewed Wednesday.

"Archer is one the very best comedy series on television," FX's Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development Nick Grad said in a statement. "It is truly rewarding the way in which the audience and fans have embraced their work and that the ratings continue to grow. The quality of Archer is undeniable."

Created by Adam Reed, Archer follows self-absorbed spy Sterling Archer (H. Jon Benjamin) and his equally incompetent co-workers at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS). Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Judy Greer and Chris Parnell also perform voices on the show. The cult favorite has risen 36 percent in the adults ages 18-49 demo ratings this season and also did a special four-city live tour late last year.

Archer airs Thursdays at 10/9c on FX. Are you excited for another season?
